Annoying Override
I was enjoying this app until it would kick me out of my game against the computer and force me to play against a human opponent. Why???? I clearly have “CPU” marked as my opponent. Please fix this!! It is absolutely infuriating. It has happened as soon as right after my first move as well as at any point in the game with no way to exit or decline this forced match.
The only other thing that could be improved is that sometimes, even in intermediate mode, it is way too easy to win with the computer missing extremely obvious moves that even a beginner would catch. Fix these issues and I’ll change this review to 5 stars.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. If you turn off the AutoMatch feature in the Settings, the app will no longer automatically match you with opponents. Additionally, in the latest version, we've made it so that AutoMatch is automatically turned off when you manually exit an online match. As for the CPU's skill level, we are currently working on a solution, but further research is needed, so please bear with us a little longer.
Good
Needs no time limits
Great game
I wish there was a way to remove the time limit and prevent it from automatically making a move for you if the time runs out
Rules are incomplete which leads to frustration
Rules are incomplete and the “examples” Of the few that are “shown” are blank on iOS. For example: the King cannot initiate capture of opposing pieces as he is considered unarmed. The throne cannot be reentered but can be used as a space to capture against even for the King. How does the king escape and win? It doesn’t tell us?! Please list all rules with picture examples.

Rules
Could you please review the rules and make them clear within the app. The standard rules as used with the very popular Viking game edition allow you to take pieces by sandwiching the apposition piece against the corner kings square. This version only allows this when it’s a double take which is confusing. Also defending pieces can move through the kings square where as opposition pieces cannot. Other than that it’s a good app

Could be fun
This game could be fun if the game controls weren’t so poor. Zoom in and out steps bad and game selects wrong pawns which really screws up game play
Very well made
This app allows you to play every version of Hnefatafl that I have ever seen along with some I haven’t. The animations and graphics are better than I could have asked for. Learn to play this game and you will enjoy it.
Incorrect rule application
As the king, I was counted as captured when on the edge of the board and directly adjacent to a corner refuge square when black had only two pieces adjacent to me. A pawn would have been captured, but the king could freely move into the corner and win.

Where is the “I resign” button? I have made a mistake and wish to terminate this current game and start anew.
